Harry Maguire has once again been told that his role as Manchester United captain is under threat following the Red Devils’ £57m capture of Lisandro Martinez.
The Argentine officially swapped Amsterdam for Manchester on Wednesday, completing a move from Ajax to be reunited with former boss Erik ten Hag. His arrival adds to the defensive options that the Red Devils’ boss has at Old Trafford and becomes the latest in a long line of centre-back signings over recent seasons.
Maguire himself was only recruited in the summer of 2019 for a huge £80m fee, whilst the club also made a move for Raphael Varane from Real Madrid 12 months ago. That vast expenditure did not benefit United at all with the Red Devils - and Maguire in particular - enduring poor seasons.
